In November of 1996, God called me to move my family from Hawaii to Las Vegas. Here I found Calvary Community Church where I faithfully served for 10 years. While serving there, God instilled in me a love for all people and a passion to teach the truth of His Word. In 2010, He guided me to what would become my new home the foursquare denominational "New Hope Las Vegas Church". I was ordained as an associate pastor in 2013 and received my ministerial license in July of 2015. In 2018, my journey will take a new course as I unveil New Hope North Community Church.

My beautiful wife, Noemi, is a special education "early childhood" teacher. Together we have a wonderfully blended family with seven children and eleven grandchildren (still growing). Trusting in God and having a commitment to Him has blessed my family and continues to be our main priority.
